Tapu Sena is a group of six childhood friends from Mumbai’s Gokuldham Society—Tapu, Goli, Gogi, Pinku, Sonu, and Sunny. Though unknown outside their neighborhood, they’re the heart of their community, known for their mischief, loyalty, and unbreakable bond.
Now in college, the group faces growing pains. Tapu and Sonu’s lifelong friendship has quietly turned into love—but they’re keeping it a secret, especially from Sonu’s strict father, Mr. Bhide, who still sees Tapu as a troublemaker.
As the group enters adulthood, old resentments, hidden feelings, and new challenges begin to strain their once-solid friendship. The love between Tapu and Sonu threatens to tip the balance, forcing everyone to confront uncomfortable truths.
This is a story about friendship tested by time, love hidden by fear, and the bittersweet transition from childhood to adulthood in a world where growing up means growing apart—or growing stronger.
